"What they're fighting against is President [Donald] Trump. Anything that President Trump does, they want to fight against it because their radical left base demands it, Zinke said of House Democrats. Zinke continued: But what are they fighting for? Are they really fighting for free health care for illegal aliens? Are they fighting for anti law enforcement? Are they fighting for open borders? I guess so."
"And you look at, you know, page 57 of their bill no doubt, absolutely, in writing, gives free health care to 1.4 million illegal aliens. That cost is $200 billion and they can't run away from the truth. So, I submit that they probably have not learned their lesson. And we'll continue this. But it affects America. You know, our economy right now is not great. The jobs report was not great."
Representative Ryan Zinke acknowledged that the economy is not doing well and said the week-long government shutdown is making matters worse. Zinke accused House Democrats of opposing President Trump to satisfy a radical left base and alleged their bill provides free health care to 1.4 million undocumented migrants at a $200 billion cost. The cited provision seeks to reinstate Medicaid, CHIP, and ACA marketplace eligibility for previously eligible legal immigrants. Federal law currently prohibits undocumented migrants from those programs except for limited Emergency Medicaid. President Trump posted that prices are down, tariffs boost economic power, inflation is virtually nonexistent, and markets are at record highs.
